Moms wield awesome power as both consumers and decision makers who control the family purse. Just visit any popular park or mall in your town and you'll hear moms compare health care coverage, discuss the merits of different brands of baby food, and critique the hottest family vacation destinations. Moms spend most of the family's money, and, thankfully for consumer marketers, moms love to talk about where they spend it. You've heard of word of mouth. This is word of mom, the most powerful marketing tool in existence. So how can you and your company get a bigger piece of the trillion-dollar mom market?
Author Maria T. Bailey discusses the tools you need to reach the mom market and gain market share for your company. Drawing on 30 extensive interviews with high-level marketing professionals and the responses of more than 500 consumer moms, you'll uncover the secrets to successfully conveying your message to this economically powerful group.

�Effectively target the mom market and understand its dynamics
�Craft messages that speak directly to moms
�Design a Web site that increases e-commerce revenues
�Build a brand and create product loyalty within the mom market
�Develop an internal marketing strategy that attracts and retains mothers as employees
